The Project

The objective of the PPP measure is the introduction of a management system for the Ørecording,

Ømonitoring and

Øenvironment-friendly disposal

of PCB-contaminated transformers and capacitors in Macedonia

The Goals

Ø Temporary storage of PCB-containing transformers and capacitors

Ø Proper disposal of PCB-containing transformers and capacitors

Ø Safe handling of PCB-containing transformers and capacitors

Ø Informing the population about the handling of PCB-containing transformers and capacitors

Ø Concept development for a further waste management

Ø Recording and analysis of PCB-containing equipment

Ø Clean-up methods for cleaning of PCB-contaminated sites

The Conclusions

Ø Receiving suitable instruments for an environment-friendly and cost-effective management system for the disposal of PCB-containing equipment.

Ø Important keystone of the plant GEF project which will be carry out in Macedonia to fulfil the requirements for the Stockholm Convention.

Ø Distribution of technical information to the owners of hazardous waste and to

Ø Design of an approved storage area, where the hazardous waste could be prepared for the export to foreign Recycling facilities

Non-Combustive Destruction of PCB liquids by Sodium Reduction

Ø UNEP‘s "Survey of Currently Available Non-

Incineration PCB Destruction Technologies" (First

Issue, August 2000) states that sodium treatment

is the "most common technology [...] to

dechlorinate the PCB molecules and yield an oil

which can be re-used".
